One year my mate booked our groups tickets on his phone while on holiday in Hawaii so it can be done!

Not sure how strong demand will be from my side this year. Might just be Mrs J and myself, if so I'm happy to buddy up with others.

Only 2 of us this year too, so I would be interested in buddying up!

It's fine. Just a sign of where inflation is going. Have a good time in the Windy City!

I wonder how much a pint will cost next summer at GF. Probably the wrong thread for it, but if it was about £7.50, then it could also near closer to a tenner by next summer.

I’m surprised the full price isn’t confirmed, I think they should at least explain why that isn’t the case. If it’s for reasonably legitimate reasons such as not knowing where we will be with inflation and costs they should be upfront and tell us. I hope it isn’t so they can be flexible depending on demand, upping the price if the demand is high? 

they might still be working on the price themselves, its not just for us where future costs are unknown.

That's the most obvious explanation, imo. I can't imagine they'd ask us to pay £50 upfront without knowing what the total cost would be, and given the state of the economy, I'd guess they're not in a position to lock in the final price by the usual ticket days. So, the only option remaining is to delay ticket day for a month, by which time they might be in a better position to know how much they need to charge.

Doubt there's anything more going on than that.

All that, plus the gut who'd normally do all that passed away last year.

I asked on twitter and got this response regarding price

This seems to come down to poor thinking. They probably thought 'of course they know we'll announce it before the sale' so don't post it. 

[efcfanwirral]

Feels like we've been thrown out of routine but I guess they could do ticket day whenever they want or need to, it'll still sell at the moment anyway

Would it even be legal to have charged a 50 quid deposit for something you don't know the price of?  Probs shouldn't be

No, I don't believe so.  Certain things if you have a quote they can vary if the item changes (eg fitting a conservatory or the like) 

[scatteredscreens]

Classic Twitter, being told by someone in the replies to not bother going and that the festival is expensive. He doesn't know I've been multiple times and spend most of my working hours on efests 🙂

The later it’s left the more expensive it’s going to be 

Yes,I reckon there are too many economic variables and uncertainties at the moment and these are preventing them setting a price. You will have seen first hand the increase in retail prices. The same will be happening with the cost of the infrastructure and staff wages required to run the festival. And don’t forget the increase in what artists will be looking for having lost so many gigs due to covid.    Ten percent rise wouldn’t be surprising, maybe more for car parking, pre erected tents etc.

Well Its def over £300 without them saying the cost. Will they announce the price on halloween? 
 

edit. And theres an official balance window for next year. So that makes lineup drop much easier. Last week of March now.

There's an official balance window every year. It's always the first week of April, always has been (except this year when they brought it forward for tax purposes).

Point is they always tell you when you have to pay the balance before you even put your money down.

[Leyrulion]

Shit that it's now one less payday to save. Is it tempting fate to keep my regular saving anyway.

One tab on Incognito.

 

Time and time again these last few weeks buying tickets on Ticketmaster, Seetickets & AXS I've gotten in before first on that

Be interesting to know how much is the electricity/fuel cost. I would suspect massive.

All the power is generated by generators so it will be the cost of fuel that will have the biggest impact and that’s come down a lot since summer.

And it looks like fuel prices will continue their way down if recession hits the world and demand drops.

Hello folks 👋 

Just dropping in to share ticket day couldn't have landed on a worst day for Swedge and Co. One of our group is getting married on the 5th, pretty much our entire crew will be there and the majority of us are staying at an Airbnb in the middle of nowhere in North England, which apparently has unreliable WiFi. 

We've got tickets in previous years thanks to trying from overseas (me from Sweden in 2019) or from offshore (my mate works o a rig and has gotten through almost every year). Neither is an option this year. 

So feeling pretty nervy this time around. Still, part of the fun eh? 😬

You’ll most likely get your tickets before anyone else, just the way it goes!
